On Thursday afternoon, the Director of the Holy See Press Office, Matteo Bruni, wrote: "His Holiness Pope Francis spent a day resting.
The medical staff following the Pontiff's post-operative course reports that he has been fed a liquid diet. His haemodynamic (blood pressure) and respiratory parameters are stable. The post-operative course appears regular.
This afternoon, the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, he received the Eucharist.
Among the many messages of closeness, he was touched by the affection of the family of little Miguel Angel, baptised by Pope Francis last 31st of March during his visit to the paediatric oncology and neurosurgery wards of the hospital, who sent him a poster wishing him a speedy recovery.
The Holy Father personally thanked the mother with a brief phone call".
